WORRIED APPLICANT (OFW from Singapore)

JmSigaporeJmSigapore WoolloongabbaPosts: 7Member
My name is John at tubong Isabela po ako. This is not my first time to apply for a visa to Australia, I applied before for a tourist visa at luckily nabigyan ako ng 1 year multiple entry and now I'm about to lodge my application for Student Visa (subclass 573?) ung pang Higher Education Student Visa?
Now, I'm just a little worried about the process kasi I don't have any idea and I needed all your help lalo na yung mga may experience na nag apply from here (sa Singapore VFS).

first, I'll have to ask if I need to include my passport for my student visa application (I know this sound stupid) kasi ang sabi sa req't is just the photocopy of my passport.
2nd, I have my document of sufficient fund/COE from QUT/OSHC/and my friend's address where I'll be staying temporarily what else do they require from you?
and lastly, kung sino man ang makakasabay ko na mag-aaral ng English for Academic Purposes commencing on Feb 2015 please let me know. Mas mabuti na ung may kaibigan or kakilala aged sa school (pantanggal kaba lang)

Cheers!
John

    hi @JmSigapore, hindi ako nag-lodge sa singapore pero sabi ng education agent ko dito sa IDP, hindi na sinasama ang passport sa application. photocopy na lang daw.

    eto ang checklist ko (subclass 573)

    -completed application form 157a
    -2 passport sized photos with your name written on the back of each photo
    -manager's check for the student visa application fee
    -photocopy of passport
    -COE
    -letter of offer
    -IELTS results
    -Birth Certificate from NSO
    -Transcript of Records
    -Medical Examination Receipt
    -Affidavit of Financial Declaration
    -Certificate of Employment
    -NBI Clearance (optional, kung meron ka lang naman)

    hope this will help you. :) ask mo din ung iba para sure. :)

    @JmSigapore I know the feeling, sa Singapore na rin ako nag IELTS kaya before lodging itself stress na ako.. I cant even work properly after lodging my visa especialy after my interview bec. My CO directly told me that they are not satisfide and they will grant since my sponsor is not in the list na pwedeng mag sponsor, direct to the point... sinagot ko lang tlga sila... PRAYERS, FAITH, TIWALA AND PRAYERS ULIT LANG TLGA... IT REALLY WORKS AND E CACALM KA NIYA.. :) GOOD LUCK... ^_^

    hi @sachiko a sponsor can be responsible for your finances, so that should be alright. somewhere you will be asked if you will self-finance your studies, or have a sponsor. he can be your 'sponsor', if that makes sense. don't worry too much. australia looks at merits of your case and you will not unjustly turned down. jia you!:)

    Gday!

    Regarding po sa sponsor, ano po need nila e submit? ok lang ba letter signed by them plus their Australia documents details? or need pa bank statement nila showing they have enough funds/savings?

    Yung sponsor po kasi namin is Sister ng wife ko who is in Australia already. Main wife ko po applicant.

    Thanks po

    @yhanox depends on your provider. i can only assume that it's a letter of undertaking witnessed by a jp or any authorised person who could witness (in Australia) or notarize (in the Phils).

    Thanks po sa response.
    Do u think po ba ok lang na wala na mag witness sa letter but only original signature nalang ng Sister-in law ko?

    Sa Singapore Australia Embassy po pala kami mag submit ng visa application ni misis kasi ditto kami both nag work. tnx
    Kulang kasi pang show money naming kaya gusto tumulong ng sister inlaw ko na mag provide ng letter nya

    Do u think po ba ok lang na wala na mag witness sa letter but only original signature nalang ng Sister-in law ko? - i wouldn't know. hopefully, it's ok. anyway for 573, Philippine's assessment level is 2, so not much documentation is required. that should give you a bit more positive outlook:)

    Sa Singapore Australia Embassy po pala kami mag submit ng visa application ni misis kasi ditto kami both nag work. tnx - missing singapore so much. lived there for soooooo loooong, served the country as a public servant, and now look where i am:)

    Gday!
